Roasted Heart Potatoes

Heart shaped herb roasted potatoes that are perfect for Valentine’s Day dinner!

With Valentine’s Day soon approaching, love is in the air, and all I can think of is Valentine’s day recipes! I seriously love food when it’s all decorated and pretty for Valentine’s day!

The recipe that I’m sharing with you today is roasted herb potatoes, it’s very easy to make, and tastes insanely good. Plus, who doesn’t love potatoes? I love potatoes in all forms! Mashed, steamed, french fries, grilled, roasted, raw, with skin, and without the skin!

These potatoes are marinated in olive oil, paprika, salt, and rosemary leaves for about 5 minutes, and then roasted in the oven. Easy!

I do like to par-cook my potatoes before roasting them, as it does make things easier and quicker. Plus it does help create a lovely crispy shell around the potatoes. Now imagine how delicious those are!

You can of course just cut the potatoes into cubes, but I think that these heart shaped roasted potatoes are perfect for Valentine’s dinner. Of course they will still taste the same, so it’s up to you on what you’re going to make.

Now you may wonder how did I manage to cut out all of these potatoes into heart shapes? I used a cookie cutter!
